25. Think Lizzy, no contest.

    The complete evolution of a band from vagabonds to warriors, their music evolved so much.

    For a band who achieved limited success on the world stage at their time, they’re a world renowned band to this day.

    Their legacy will continue to endure.

    Phil was so proud to be Irish, he called it out in many interviews and I think the Irish are very proud of Phil and the boys.

26. Thin lizzy.

27. Rory Gallagher

28. Has to be Thin Lizzy

29. Sinéad O’Connor, her impact went beyond music

30. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Put Ireland on the map in terms of music. Inspired Bob Dylan.

    …also, please don’t let it be U2.

31. Thin Lizzy

32. The saw doctors

33. Bono is a plank but 46 Grammy nominations and 22 wins,

    U2 are not only the most Grammy-garlanded Irish act ever but also the most Grammy-awarded band of all time.

    Thin Lizzy #2, The Dubliners #3, Sinead O’Connor #4, Christy Moore #5

34. The cranberries

35. Thin Lizzy

36. Purely as she wasn’t mentioned and considering how big she is, Enya.

    I’m also surprised that Kevin Shields for his impact and Shane McGowan weren’t mentioned.

37. This is so r/ireland it’s painful.
